The integration of digital technology in classrooms through digital library, Chromebooks, educational tablets, and smart classes has opened up remarkable opportunities for both teachers and students. It makes teaching-learning easy, efficient, and engaging. Over time, with the effective use of education technology in the classroom, the role of teachers has become more central and not peripheral. At iDream Education we aims to empower teachers and students to Learn Unlimited through digital learning solutions. 

How do we do this?

Considering revision in the ICT scheme by the Ministry of Education and the technological friendliness of teachers and students with mobile devices, we have designed iPrep Digital Library also known as TabLab, a Tablet-based Smart ICT Lab. It is a digital library that consists of a certain number of tablets/Chromebooks, storage, and a charging rack. It comes with Android tablets or Chromebooks with accessories and a tablet/Chromebook charging trolley.

iPrep Digital Library in the classroom empowers teachers to deliver better educational outcomes

Teachers always strive to personalise learning for students. Likewise, education technology and access to enjoyable digital content in class empower teachers to personalise teaching and deliver better educational outcomes. To achieve this, iDream Education has researched and finetuned the design of ICT Labs to TabLab, a Smart ICT lab.  

Lets us look at how iPrep Digital Library eliminates some infrastructural challenges for schools

• With iPrep Digital Library, teachers do not have to get into complex computing hardware. They can just take pick up charged tablets/chromebooks from iPrep Digital Library and start teaching. 
• In cases of prolonged electricity outages, teachers do not have to wait for electricity to come back. The tablets/chromebooks in Tablab, once charged for 3 to 4 hours, can be used for 7 to 8 hours. Additionally, teachers are not dependent on internet connectivity because tablets in TabLab and Chromebook in chrome lab are provided with preloaded content on an SD card.

Eliminating psychological challenges for schools

• Curriculum-aligned digital content makes it easy for teachers to switch between textbooks and animated video lessons on tablets.
• Through topic-wise MCQ style practice questions, teachers successfully establish classroom interaction and boost learning levels and interest. 
• Teachers can make use of life skills and growth-based content like DIY and activity videos to make classroom sessions creative. On the other hand, inspirational biographies, comics and other value-based content can encourage reasoning abilities of students.
• Moreover, easy navigation features and content categories in tablets/chromebooks motivate teachers to make use of the digital on a regular basis. Many schools have adopted TabLab timetable so that every teacher in the school gets familiar with teaching through digital content. 
• Lastly, the offline student-wise usage reports empower teachers to keep track of students’ learning levels and interests and provide personalised attention to students. 

Thus, iPrep Digital Library in the classroom has the potential to empower teachers to deliver better educational outcomes by eliminating infrastructural and psychological barriers to regular use of technology in the classroom.
